This page provides instructions for how to create a volume.
Before you begin
For this quickstart, we recommend that you create your first volume with the NFSv3 protocol type. If you only want to use SMB volumes, you can delete the NFSv3 volume after you complete this quickstart.
Create a volume
Use the following instructions to create a volume:
Go to the NetApp Volumes page in the Google Cloud console.

The first volume creation takes a few minutes. The creation of each subsequent volume takes a few seconds.
